The Angry Black Woman

Poetry

Have you ever spent an extended amount of time — (just read, all your life) trying to breathe in a climate of suspicion, despise and hate?
A crooked finger, points and aims their privilege straight in your face. Imagine, being told to ‘just relax’
whilst the weight of a states murderous foot-soldier —
steals your last breath away.
